Man off to prison for buying Dom Perignon, other items, with stolen credit info

A Buffalo man who bought liquor and theater tickets and booked hotel rooms using other people’s credit card numbers was sentenced Wednesday to up to six years in prison on fraud and bail jumping convictions.

Leland Burks, 51, of Viola Park, also owes $15,113 in restitution, according to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office.

Among the items he ordered were two bottles of Dom Perignon valued at $1,016.

Burks called a downtown steakhouse and used another person’s credit card to order the two bottles, saying they were for a City Court judge. Burks then picked up the bottles.
